The Sky is Falling

 

The sky is falling

(2/11/2025)

I have a spider bite on my foot

& it itches.

I want to scratch it

but I already did that. 

it's all red & puffy.

I placed a cold wet compress

on it. 

I watch some news to distract

myself. (bad idea)

now I think the sky is falling…

The president did this, the congress

Is divided and does nothing, A billionaire 

who bought the election has access

to all our data, half the country is in an

uproar, the other half is in shock, as

thousands of people lose their jobs, women

& men in africa will be dying from aids &

starvation because the president

stopped the aid. All the farmers that voted

for him are upset because the price of grain

has fallen because the president stopped

the aid. etc, etc, etc.

I turn off the news and my foot still 

Itches, I still want to scratch it & now more

than ever I feel like Chicken Little and think

the sky is falling..
